Maybe these scenarios sound familiar...

Client explorer session for you, with Penny Haslam
Two coaching sessions, for each individual that 'bookend' the programme
This helps individuals to focus their mind on what exactly it is they want to get from the programme before it even starts, so they can maximise its benefits. At the end of the programme, we focus on 'what next', ensuring your investment is taken beyond just attending the modules.
Four live group coaching sessions, on Zoom or in person - usually once a month
Each module gives participants tried and tested frameworks and models for developing exceptional communication skills and building confidence. They gain greater self-belief and can operate strategically on their professional and personal development.
An exclusive group of like-minded women
The group itself forms a powerful way to drive individual development through sharing experiences. It creates an instant network of supportive peers, gives built-in accountability and an enhanced awareness of their own valuable experience and knowledge. All of which boosts self-belief and confidence.
Own-time development resources and recommendations
Videos, books, talks and personalised challenges to support the participants and keep them focussed on progressing their actions between the group sessions. This expedites their development and embeds career-boosting habits of learning and reflection.
Membership of the cohort's accountability group
Participants get to stay connected to the energy and encouragement of the group and continue progress beyond the programme on WhatsApp. We also continue to input with further resources and opportunities for the group and celebrate their successes along the way.

For reference when there's a chance to power up your profile and get known for your expertise and abilities. It might be a big presentation, an important meeting or even a panel discussion opportunity on the horizon.
Enable your talented women to communicate with confidence in three simple steps:
1. Book your discovery to find out how we can support your organisation.
2. Enrol up to 12 of your 'ones to watch' or future leaders.
3. Watch your emerging talent successfully progress in their roles and careers.
If your people lack self-belief, they'll undervalue themselves and be overlooked for opportunities at work.
They get passed over for promotion when they clearly have valuable skills and knowledge - which risks losing their engagement.
They shy away from developing their own careers, not knowing how to showcase their expertise clearly and concisely.
You suffer from an undersupply of the next generation of talented women for your organisation.
Solve these problems and you gain re-energised and focused role models for your organisation.
By the end of this programme, your talented and valuable women will be able to:
Set clear goals for at work and in life, and be able to work towards them with courage and confidence.
Deploy their new skills and frameworks for impactful and confident communication.
Be more visible, demonstrate their value and share their expertise across the organisation.
Enjoy support and accountability from like-minded colleagues.

Confidence is the foundation stone for resilience, high performance, happiness, humility, professional and personal development - so once we have strong self-belief on board, we can pretty much accomplish most other things.
Penny shares her three confidence building steps and invites participants to explore and challenge their thinking on this important aspect.

Rave reviews for The Impact, Influence and Confidence Programme!
Dramatic growth in confidence
The programme has given me the tools to make the most of speaking opportunities, so I can improve the way I help educate and encourage people to be more sustainable. I have also seen others on the course dramatically grow in confidence and we have all stepped out of our comfort zones, trying new things. Penny shared great advice, ideas and support for us time-poor leaders, so regardless of why you want to enhance your profile, this programme can definitely help make you 'a little bit famous’.

Fantastic, thought-provoking programme
A fantastic, thought-provoking programme that resonates, inspires and empowers. Penny is so engaging in her delivery and has a style that encourages discussion and engagement from all involved. I joined this programme to gain confidence and quieten the negative inner voice that I always seem to listen to. Simply being around Penny and other like-minded individuals, hearing their stories, hints & tips has helped me achieve that.
Catherine Hesford, Head of HR, Shawbrook Bank
Excellent!
From confidence on camera to thinking about how best to present information, Penny's programme has been excellent. I've taken away lots of useful and very practical insights and tips that I know will massively help me on my journey to being a confident and authentic speaker. Thanks Penny!

I was offered the job!
Claire Crompton, Principal Engineer at Sir Robert McAlpinePenny's presentation planner is a totally different method of planning, but it works. I used it when planning a presentation for an interview: the planning time was reduced, I came up with a very clear message and I was offered the job! Without the programme I'm not sure I'd have even considered applying for the job in the first place.
As soon as I joined the first session, I felt completely at ease
Ellie Cronshaw, (formerly) Learning Manager at Raise the BarThe programme was excellent. As someone relatively new and starting out in their career I was anxious about feeling out of place. As soon as I joined the first session, I felt completely at ease in the group, everyone was so friendly and supportive. Penny was amazing at encouraging everyone to speak and very quickly identified individuals' strengths and areas to work on. The sessions pushed me out of my comfort zone and have given me valuable skills that have already helped with my visibility. I feel equipped with a simple but very effective toolkit that I can use in work and my personal life. I'm much more confident heading into presentations and situations where the spotlight is on me and I'm more comfortable 'putting myself out there'. I would recommend this programme to women at any stage of their career wanting that confidence boost!
